If you look at the median for T&amp;I as a whole it&#39;s at 1.29%. If you look at average for T&amp;I w/o NYC, D.C. and Boston, it&#39;s still under 3%.

When the Washington Metro proposed a budget that would have eliminated some bus routes a few years ago, Donna Edwards came to the public hearing and talked about how she had depended on one of those routes as a single mother who didn&#39;t own a car.
